ProShares UltraShort Financials is an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks daily investment results that correspond to twice the inverse daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Financials Index (the Index). The Index measures the performance of the financial services industry of the United States equity market. The Fund takes positions in securities and financial instruments that, in combination, should have similar daily return characteristics as -200% of the daily return of the Index. As of May 31 2013, the Fund's total assets and investment portfolio totaled $135,512,107 and $132,156,014, respectively. We show 154 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our SKF shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute SKF market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing SKF market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing SKF's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of SKF versus a peer is one thing; comparing
SKF market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like SKF can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching SKF by allowing them to research the SKF market cap history. |
